The proposed Management Plan for Short-eared Owl in Canada was posted on the Species at Risk Public Registry on February 23, 2016, for a 60-day public comment period which ends on April 23, 2016. Comments received from provinces, territories, wildlife management boards, and Aboriginal governments across Canada were considered in the drafting of the current version of the Management Plan (attached). Following the 60-day public comment period, the Management Plan will be revised as needed and then posted on the Species at Risk Public Registry as a final Management Plan. Note that as a species of special concern, there are no general prohibitions or critical habitat requirements for this species.
Given the broad distribution of this species across Canada, the Management Plan is national in scope and the current draft has been prepared by Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Canadian Wildlife Service with the input of provinces, territories, wildlife management boards, and Aboriginal governments across Canada, as per federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) requirements. You can read the proposed Management Plan and comment at: http://www.sararegistry.gc.ca/document/default_e.cfm?documentID=2876 .
Note that in addition to the general public, comments are also being solicited at this time from all Yukon First Nations and Renewable Resource Councils within the species’ range, as well as the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board and Wildlife Management Advisory Council (North Slope).
